摘要:
A slider for supporting transducer elements in a data storage system including a granular particle composition including multiple layers of particles for providing a contact interface between the slider and disc surface. The multiple particle layers provide an uneven surface structure for stiction control. The multiple particle layers provide for wear while maintaining an uneven surface structure for stiction control.
摘要:
A head suspension assembly including a head and a suspension coupled to the head to support the head to fly above the disc surface for operation. The head includes a slider having a bearing surface and a transducer having a transducer element. The suspension supports the head at a pitch angle determined so that close point between the head and disc surface is located at the slider spaced from the transducer. In one embodiment of the head suspension, the suspension supports the head during operation at a pitch angle &thgr;P≦(dR−dW)/dA-B−4 dC/l to avoid transducer contact with media asperities with mean roughness.
摘要:
A data storage system including a head supporting transducer elements relative to a disc surface for proximity recording. The head including a slider having debris collection cavities positioned relative to a contact interface between the slider and disc surface. The debris collection cavities being designed to collect debris loosed from the disc surface to reduce thermal asperities.
摘要:
An abrasive article is provided. The article includes (a) a flexible backing having opposing first and second surfaces; (b) an abrasive layer comprising plurality of abrasive particles disposed on the first surface of the flexible backing; and (c) an adhesive layer comprising load bearing particles and an adhesive matrix, the adhesive layer disposed on the second surface of the polymer layer. At least a portion of the load bearing particles is substantially enveloped in the adhesive matrix and is in contact with the second surface of the polymer substrate.
摘要:
The present application is directed to a slider supporting apparatus for flying a slider of a hard disk drive in the manufacturing process to provide electrical performance characteristics. The present invention discloses an integrated design including the electrical interconnect, the gimballing mechanism, the preload mechanism and the slider supporting mechanism integrated into a single supporting structure.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods for plate dressing using slurry charged with abrasives and soft polymeric or metallic micro-nano spheres additives to produce substantially uniform abrasive height. Additionally, methods for plate dressing using slurry charged with abrasives and self-assembled polymers to produce substantially uniform abrasive height are disclosed.
摘要:
A method of making an abrasive article including the step of preparing a master plate with a surface having a shape. Depositing a spacer layer on the surface of the master plate. A slurry containing an adhesive and abrasive particles is deposited on a surface of the spacer layer. A substrate embedded with abrasive particles having a surface generally complementary to the surface of the master plate is fabricated. A spacer layer is formed by various method controlled the height of the protruded abrasive particles. The master plate and the spacer layer are separated from the substrate to expose abrasive particle protruding a substantially uniform height. An abrasive article made according to this method is also disclosed.
摘要:
The application discloses processes for fabricating a slider or head for a data storage device. The processes disclosed provide a transducer portion that is separated from a slider body by a gap. In an illustrated embodiment, actuator elements are fabricated in the gap to adjust a position of the transducer portion relative to the slider body.
摘要:
An air bearing for a slider including cooperating raised bearing surfaces or portions along a trailing edge portion of the slider. The cooperating raised bearing surfaces or portions are formed on a stepped bearing surface which is elevated above a recessed bearing surface. The cooperating raised bearing surfaces or portions form raised rails or rails portions or a raised center pad or raised center pad portion on the stepped bearing surface to reduce cross curve sensitivity.
摘要:
A disc head slider having a slider body that includes a bearing surface, a cavity dam and a sub-ambient pressure cavity is provided. The sub-ambient pressure cavity has a cavity floor, a plurality of sides and a depth that progressively varies between a point on one of the sides and a corresponding point on an opposing side. The depth is measured from the bearing surface to the cavity floor. The cavity floor comprises a plurality of substantially flat bottom surfaces that are separated by at least one elevational change. Other embodiments pertain to other specialized slider cavity configurations.
